According to recent data, most couples date for two or more years before getting engaged, with many dating anywhere from two to five years. Once the question is popped, the average length of engagement is between 12 and 18 months.

Is a 2 year difference in age bad?

Originally Answered: Is two years a big age gap in a relationship? The number of years in age difference between two people in a relationship really isnt something to worry about. What really needs to be asked is how much of a gap is there when you look at emotional/mental development and mental/emotional maturity.
